BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- India scored twice in four minutes to upset South Korea 2-1 and finish the preliminary rounds of the Asian Games men's field hockey tournament as the only unbeaten team Monday.

The win meant India avoided a semifinal match-up against fierce rival Pakistan.

India led 2-0 at the break through Baljit Singh Dhillon and Mukesh Kumar and held on after Keon Wook-Kang got a goal back on 50 minutes.

The victory left India with perfect record after four games in Pool B and put it in a semifinal against Japan, which came second in Pool A.
